PNW Auburn-MV - Violent Gameplay

Going into the competition, we felt that the gameplay was focused on teamwork and strategy. But as the matches progressed we feel that the gameplay became more violent and aggressive without penalty.

In the driver’s meeting we were told that strategies aimed at harming other robots would be penalized. This was also reinforced in the finals alliance captain’s meeting after alliance selection.

We feel that one such strategy affected our robot and our pick-up system. Early on we had no problems but in one match one of our pick-up arms was bent. Afterwards, it started happening more and more as the gameplay became more intentionally violent. In another case a robot seemingly drove across the field to ram Team 4469, damaging their frame. The only time a penalty was called was when a team ran into Team 2907, severely damaging their robot.

Does anybody else feel that there was gameplay outside the rules G27 and G28 that was not penalized?
